Hi, I’m Tyler ! I’m a software developer in Toronto with a degree in Honours Computer Science(Co-op) from McMaster University. Throughout my career and projects, I have developed my understanding of various concepts and skills pertaining to computer science. I have attended various hackathons and have made the most of my time there, networking and absorbing as much information as possible. I am enthralled by the computer science community and its work ethic and am an open source enthusiast and co-creator of OpenHarvest. I have recently been awarded the title of volunteer hero by IBM for this project!
